I think it started when he beat me. No one had ever beaten me before, but
that wasn't why I fell in love.
It was because he changed me. For the first time in years, I let go of my anger.
He understands me. He doesn't fight my battles for me, but knows that I like to have a good fight once in a while. He doesn't try to stop my bad habits, unless they might hurt someone else. Instead, he accepts them as a part of me.
I remember realizing that he might leave anytime, because he is a rurouni. I told him that he better not leave while I was around. As soon as those words were out of my mouth, I realized that I was falling for him.

"Oi! Kenshin."
He turns around to look at me. He is doing laundry again, is this his hobby? Kenshin grins at me.
"Ah, Sano," Kenshin sits there with his chibi smiling face. He always appears to be happy.
I pull up a stool to sit next to him. He blinks at me.
"Oh! You can keep going, don't mind me," I tell him. It feels nice to just sit here next to him.
"Kenshin, can I ask you a question?"
"Hai!" He keeps going on with the laundry.
"Have you ever been in love?" I look at him.
Kenshin slows down for a second, but then resumes his normal happy mode. He seems to be contemplating what answer to give me.
"Once, but it didn't work out de gozaru," Kenshin tells me after a while.
"Why? What happened?" This was great. I don't know much about the object of my affection. It would be nice to know about his past lovers.
"Her family was with the shogun," he stated seriously. By the tone of his voice, I can tell that this conversation has come to an end.
Aaaahhh. So they would have been enemies. It seemed so tragic. Kenshin hangs up the wet clothes, and I watch him silently.
Did she love him back? Yes, I would think so. Who wouldn't love my Kenshin? Then again, people say he was a half-crazed, serious faced, scary killer back then. Personally, I prefer to call him cranky.
"Kenshin! Let's go gamble."
Kenshin looks back at me with big purple eyes.
"Nani? But I lost horribly last time de gozaru yo."
"That was your first time. Granted, you were worse than anyone I've ever seen, But! I know you have a secret hidden, hidden, hidden talent for gambling in there!" I must be blinded by love. I mean, for Pete's sake, I'm inviting Kenshin over to gamble, even though he sucks.
"Isn't gambling illegal?"
"Illegal, schpadegal! Lay back and have some fun Kenshin!"

He lost again. How in the world can someone lose Every. Single. Time.
Yet, the little rurouni is just sitting there. Calmly sipping at his tea.
"Kenshin, please, even you can get one right," I plead.
"Call it," my friend says, preparing to roll the die.
"Han," Kenshin predicts.
"All right, all right, come on," I look at the die. I sigh.
"Cho!" my friend announces. They laugh at me. My friends know about my little crush on Kenshin. I didn't even have to tell them, they figured it out all on their own. They find it cute that their "gangstery" friend fell for this small man. My friends are great.
"Sano, is it really all right for you to lose this much money?" Kenshin asks me, concerned.
"Sano wins it all back," they laugh.
Kenshin looks at me confused. I put on a proud face.
" Sometimes at night, I challenge certain guys to a drinking contest. Of course, I always win!" I must admit that I am quite proud of my drinking skills.
"And with the today's loss, it seems you're going to be quite busy tonight!"
"I'll do it for him," Kenshin startles everybody.
Hell, he even surprised me.
I mean, Kenshin is voluntarily going to go drinking? Could his body even handle that much liquor?
"Kenshin.are.are you sure?" I ask him, I'm still astounded.
"I don't want to put you through any trouble, because I made you lose your money," Kenshin explains.
Hold on! If Kenshin happens to pass out, then I get to carry him home! This is great! And on the off chance that he's a great drinker, then I make money. It's a win-win situation! Hmmm, okay then.
"All right then Kenshin! Let's see what you've got!" I grin.
Kenshin just smiles mysteriously.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Why is he smiling mysteriously? The next chapter will tell you. It won't be up till Tuesday or Wednesday though.
